Energy, Energy, Energy, Love....
>>>>I appreciate the imagination of a kid 7 or 8 years old. What I don't appreciate is how we lose it as we grow older.>>>>
>>Well to some extent, the more one knows the less to wonder at. But ironically, the converse holds as well. It is a matter of the wonder becoming commonplace, and leaving the mind free to seek new areas of wonder. Unfortunately, the common recognition of fairytails, myths, and other wonderful products of human imagination--still remain miraculous to many adults, and prevent the human race from collectively embracing a higher and more positive vision. Many on earth still follow the imagination of ancient and modern misanthropes who believed (or pretended to believe) that people should suffer in this life, or at least be deprived or unhappy. Many still believe that pleasure and physical joy are ungodly creations of an imaginary devil.
No, Averagejoe, I don't think adults have lost the capacity to imagine--but perhaps they have lost the capacity to imagine or to think for themselves...>>
Solon:
You started this thread with a compelling question: Should God be replaced?
And I believe He should be replaced. I believe the God of mankind is God that serves the EGO - ie. it allows us to remain separated, remote and detached from God as if we are atonomous. This allows us to have the comfort of feeling confident we can continue exercising our free will, powers of reason, intelligence and what we understand to be morality in a way we feel comfortable.
But the EGO's biggest fear is the belief or evidence the our soul will somehow discover the reality behind our divine inner nature.
I believe heaven exists right here on earth. And I don't believe in the illusion that man is bad, humanity is inherently sinful and that there really isn't any hope. For I have great faith in a vision which that light and love can spread throughout this world in ways which duplicate, replicate and radiate with massive power.
I see Light Houses going up all over the world which can generate REAL energy from natural/organic sources. This will be a calalyst which will enable individuals to understand that energy is inherently FREE - ie. a gift from God - and that every INDIVIDUAL has an unlimited ability to create and spread light, trust and energy all over the universe.
So limits don't exist. Definitions don't exist. We are going to understand that Love is the only basis for all that is real and that we are, first and foremost spiritual beings. And, lastly, death does not exist.
Peace.
Light!
ONE!!
